Outback will also get a 150kW 2.5-litre atmo boxer and both engines will be powered through an eight-speed CVT gearbox. Built on the latest Subaru Global Platform, the cabin has been completely reworked with water-repelling material seats and a Volvo-like 11.6in screen infotainment system while there’s 2 143 litres of storage with the rear seats folded down.
